Lagrangian modeling of water circulation in the Lofoten Basin     

《Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans》2021

Lagrangian particle tracking is implemented for the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea. The ocean dynamic fields are obtained from the GLORYS 12V1 reanalysis available by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service. Spatial distributions of the Lagrangian particles during May-November 2014 are analyzed for two depth layers: the sea-surface (0.5 m) and 266 m. The results show a significant impact of the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) on the thermohaline structure of the upper Lofoten Basin, underestimated previously. The NCC penetrates deep into the central Lofoten basin as far as the longitude 0°. In the subsurface layer, the area over which the NCC influences water structure is comparable to the area of the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current (NASC), as well as to that of the Norwegian Atlantic Frontal Current (NAFC). The NCC maximum influence on the surface water of the Basin is reached in August. The inflow of the NCC is associated with relatively fresh water intrusions (0.5–2‰ fresher than the surrounding waters) moving from the coast to the central part of the Basin. The NASC and NAFC form two main sources of the Atlantic Water in the Lofoten Basin. At 266 m level, the NASC and NAFC waters dominate water structure in the basin. Herewith the NASC influence prevails over that of the NAFC, the latter being limited to the western periphery of the Basin. At this level, the NCC is observed only along a narrow band following the eastern coast. During summer, the core of the Lofoten Vortex (LV) at 266 m is mainly composed of the NAFC water. This fact contradicts the previous point of view of the dominance of the NASC in the LV core at all depth levels. Using two types of Lagrangian maps, we highlighted the summer and the autumn periods in the LV annual lifecycle. The summer LV is characterized by high orbital velocities, which are several times higher than those of the currents along the basin boundaries. The monthly mean orbital velocities in the LV reach 35 сm s⁻¹. To the end of autumn, the LV weakens with the monthly mean orbital velocities below 10 cm s⁻¹.  相似文献   

川贵渝复杂地形下横槽诱发双涡贵州暴雨过程的数值模拟     

程晓龙  李跃清  衡志炜 《气象学报》2021,79(4):626-645

青藏高原大地形作用下,西南复杂地形区暴雨天气预报是一个十分重要和困难的科学问题。应用西南区域数值预报业务模式,结合业务常规观测和非常规观测资料,分析了2014年7月15日至17日发生在四川、贵州和重庆复杂地形下的一次由横槽诱发双低涡的贵州暴雨过程,得到:西南区域模式对这次暴雨过程的数值模拟结果与再分析资料有较好的对应关系,尤其是重现了降雨的落区、强度以及盆地涡与贵州涡的发生、发展过程。在暴雨过程中,两低涡垂直发展深厚,上升运动均伸展至对流层顶。涡度收支方面,盆地涡的发展主要源于涡度方程的散度项,而贵州涡的发展除了受散度项的显著影响外,平流项也起着重要作用。由于川渝盆地—云贵高原交界处地形、云贵高原横断山脉延伸区局地地形的作用,区域大气气旋式旋转的加强发展诱发了盆地涡和贵州涡。热力结构上,盆地涡的发生、发展在冷、暖气流交汇辐合区域内,而贵州涡则生成在暖区中,其降雨及加强更多地受到动力过程的影响。川渝盆地—云贵高原特殊的北低南高地形使高纬度干冷气流与低纬度暖湿气流交汇,形成强的上升运动,引发了盆地涡发展及其暴雨天气。云贵高原贵州特殊的西高东低地形导致来自低层的暖湿气流只能沿横断山脉边缘绕流,进入贵州西部的偏南气流与来自盆地涡西侧的偏东北气流汇合作用形成贵州涡,引发贵州暴雨天气。因此,局地地形与环流的相互作用是贵州涡生成及其引发暴雨过程的重要原因。   相似文献

Direct numerical simulation of flow over a slotted cylinder at low Reynolds number     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

Direct numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the flow past a slotted cylinder at low Reynolds number (Re) of 100. The slotting of cylinder affects the boundary layer separation, vortex formation position, recirculation region length and wake width, which are determined by the type of slit. The streamwise slit (SS1), T-shaped slit (SS3) and Y-shaped slit (SS4) act as passive jets, while the transverse slit (SS2) achieves an alternate self-organized boundary layer suction and blowing. The flow rate in slits fluctuates over time due to the alternate vortex shedding and fluctuating pressure distribution around the cylinder surface. One fluctuation cycle of flow rate is caused by a pair of vortices shedding for SS2, SS3 and SS4, while it is created by each vortex shedding for SS1. The wall shear stress and flow impact on the slit wall partly contribute to the hydrodynamic forces acting on the slotted cylinder. Taking into account the internal wall of slit, the transverse slit plays the best role in suppressing the fluid forces with drag reduction of 1.7% and lift reduction of 17%.  相似文献

东北冷涡是东亚中高纬度地区的重要天气系统,其频繁活动可能导致显著的气候效应,不仅对东北局地,而且对海河流域地区初夏降水产生影响.本文利用海河流域34个地面气象台站逐日降水资料以及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对东北冷涡与海河流域初夏降水的关系进行研究,结果表明:初夏东北冷涡活动与海河流域降水存在显著的相关关系,对其空间分布亦有重要影响.当东北冷涡活动偏多(少)时,海河流域北部地区(尤其是海河下游)初夏降水可能偏多(少),对应时间系数为正(负)时海河流域初夏降水EOF第二模态北多(少)南少(多)的空间分布.在东北冷涡活动偏多年,东北冷涡引导北方"干冷"空气南下推进至海河流域北部,伴随该地区源自西风带水汽输送和水汽辐合的增强,形成了"上干下湿"的不稳定层结,在上升运动的触发下,导致海河流域北部初夏降水偏多;而东北冷涡活动偏少年情况正好相反.东北冷涡活动为海河流域尤其是海河下游地区初夏降水预测提供了具有参考意义的结果,其活动指数与海河下游初夏降水距平的符号一致率在近30年高达83%.  相似文献   

VIV and galloping of single circular cylinder with surface roughness at 3.0×10≤Re≤1.2×10     

Che-Chun Chang  Michael M. Bernitsas 《Ocean Engineering》2011,38(16):1713-1732

Passive Turbulence Control (PTC) in the form of selectively distributed surface roughness is used to alter Flow Induced Motion (FIM) of a circular cylinder in a steady flow. The objective is to enhance FIM's synchronization range and amplitude, thus maximizing conversion of hydrokinetic energy into mechanical energy by oscillator in vortex-induced vibration and/or galloping. Through additional viscous damping, mechanical energy is converted to electrical harnessing clean and renewable energy from ocean/river currents. High Reynolds numbers (Re) are required to reach the high-lift TrSL3 (Transition-Shear-Layer-3) flow regime. PTC trips flow separation and energizes the boundary layer, thus inducing higher vorticity and consequently lift. Roughness location, surface coverage, and size are studied using systematic model tests with broad-field laser visualization at 3.0×10⁴<Re<1.2×10⁵ in the low-turbulence free-surface water-channel of the Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory of the University of Michigan. Test results show that 16° roughness coverage is effective in the range (10°-80°) inducing reduced vortex-induced vibration (VIV), enhanced VIV, or galloping. Range of synchronization may increase or decrease, galloping amplitude of oscillation reaches three diameters; wake structures change dramatically reaching up to ten vortices per cycle. Conversion of hydrokinetic energy to mechanical is enhanced strongly with proper PTC.  相似文献
